s 33 Access disabling (class of material) direction — content

33.—(1) An access disabling (class of material) direction is a direction requiring the recipient to disable access by end‑users in Singapore to any relevant class of material stored, posted, provided or transmitted on or through the relevant service. (2) The relevant class of material mentioned in subsection (1) must be identified in the access disabling (class of material) direction by one or more specific identifiers which relate to the online harmful activity concerned.Examples Examples of specific identifiers are — (a) a username which a piece of online material is tagged with; (b) a specific term which a piece of online material contains; and (c) the online location which a piece of online material is communicated at. (3) In addition to applying to online material that is made accessible to persons in Singapore before or on the date the direction is given, an access disabling (class of material) direction may also apply to online material that is first made accessible to end‑users in Singapore after the date the direction is given. (4) To avoid doubt, an access disabling (class of material) direction is not invalid merely because, apart from applying to online material communicated through an online harmful activity, the direction also applies to online material not communicated through an online harmful activity.
